Usually they will let you change the phone if you are unhappy with it within 30 days... I find that Cingular Customer Service people are not the most customer-friendly (to help out in crisis) as I have experienced this week. I just purchased a 6010 (should get today) so I am hoping that the voice quality is not a problem! I will let you know. Could be a defective phone if all calls/voices are sounding "thru the pipe" and not only her voice. If only her voice, then there is your answer.
